Heart disease: you have a choice. - from N3 Oceanic, makers of the Res-Q line of products.
Presently, there is no “cure” for heart disease. Biological science, in the area of stem-cell research, has begun to tap into the possibilities of actually redefining our DNA in order to eradicate things like heart disease and high blood pressure. Unfortunately, that possibility is not yet available to us.
Prevention and maintenance are currently our best defense against heart-related diseases that may cause heart attacks and strokes. What does that mean? Simply, that lifestyle changes are essential to better health—that eating right, exercising and incorporating a daily regimen of the highest quality heart-healthy supplements into your diet is the best “choice” you can make towards better health.
Why supplement? A brief history of our company.
As Tim Shields, founder of N3 Oceanic, used to say, there are always two sides to the story: theirs and ours. He was referring to the all-natural supplement industry as opposed to the pharmaceutical industry.
Based on years of research devoted to nutrition and heart health in particular, he realized that all-natural ingredients like Omega-3s and antioxidants like lycopene and psyllium (all of which are included in various Res-Q® products) were far more beneficial to the body than the introduction of unnatural, possibly dangerous drugs. To supplement with healthy compounds, occurring organically in nature were, to him, a no-brainer. But in order to gain more clarity and viable information, he researched studies on natural ingredients in only the most prominent journals and magazines in the country—The New England Journal of Medicine, The Journal of American Medical Associates (JAMA) and the American Heart Association, to name a few.
He discovered what he had set out to discover—support for his “side” of the story.
Here are a few examples:
- “Omega-3 fatty acids benefit the heart of healthy people, and those at high risk of — or who have — cardiovascular disease.”
–American Heart Association
- “The [New England Journal of Medicine] found that among men without cardiovascular disease, those with more omega-3 fatty acids in their blood were less likely to die of sudden cardiac death.”
–New England Journal of Medicine
- “Stanford researchers, on the basis of a National study, estimate that Americans made 425 million visits to alternative health care providers in 1990, a figure that exceeded the number of visits to allopathic primary care physicians during the same period by almost 100 million visits! (Forty seven (47) percent of these physicians also reported using alternative therapies themselves, while 23% incorporated them into their practices.)
What is surprising is the reasons people gave for using Alternative medicine. According to the JAMA article, the two most frequently endorsed benefits (of alternative care) were, “I get relief for my symptoms, the pain or discomfort is less or goes away, I feel better,” and “The treatment works better for my particular health problem than standard medicine’s.” According to the study author, these responses suggest that the most influential or salient factor in people’s decision to use alternative health care may be its perceived efficacy.”

COMPARATIVE CAUSES OF DEATH.

ANNUAL AVERAGE IN THE U. S.

With the advancing use of statins (prescription drugs designed to lower cholesterol) and their undeniably devastating side effects—liver damage, myopathy (muscle tissue damage), peripheral neuropathy (tingling and numbness), memory loss and death to name a few, Dr Shields began a 20-year campaign to educate consumers on the all-natural approach to preventing and maintaining heart disease and other health-related issues by creating his own brand of exclusive supplements.
But promotion of general supplementing was tricky. With literally thousands of dietary supplements being sold on an unregulated market, there was oftentimes little certainty when it came to trusting a manufacturer. In order to avoid unreliable manufacturing processes, Dr. Shields traveled the world in search of top manufacturers that ONLY developed products based on the Federal Current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) and ONLY used the purest, most potent ingredients. The end result was unprecedented. In three short years, after the introduction of Res-Q 1250® and other proprietary Res-Q® products, N3 Oceanic had a customer base of 125,000. Positive testimonials were pouring in, crediting Res-Q® products with amazing results.
The health benefits that come from supplementing with exceedingly quality-based products are unquestionable—from restoring energy, balance and overall well-being to possibly even reducing the risk of heart disease. The late Dr. Shields understood that. He built his life upon it.
N3 Oceanic continues to build upon his tradition by adding new and advanced products on a continual basis. We continue to maintain and surpass the highest standards in quality and productivity, making the goal of better health through supplementing one of the best choices you’ll ever make.

Living with an Open Heart
“How can my heart be healed? How can my heart find relief?” People frequently ask questions such as these when they are suffering with physical, emotional, or psychological issues of the heart.
Although we might think that heart ailments affect just the physical body, new medical research has proven that our thoughts and emotions play an important part in the development of heart disease. In fact, studies have shown that certain emotional states - social isolation, anxiety, depression, and anger are actually risk factors for heart disease.
Dean Ornish, M.D. a prominent cardiologist from the University of San Francisco has shown that healing our emotional and psychological state is critical for preventing and reversing heart disease.
What can be called “An Open Heart” is a way of living that can be learned. It’s my experience and belief that learning to live with a more open heart can have a profound affect on heart disease. Click here to read more from Dr. Laman, Cardiologist
The Fish Oil Quality Test - Here’s How to Demonstrate the Quality of Your Fish Oil!
Dear Marci,
I thought I would share with you a purity/quality test for fish oil that my cardiologist gave to me. He stated that you place a capsule of the fish oil you are using on a plate into a freezer over night. The next morning, after 8 hours in the deep freeze, you cut the capsule in half. If the fish oil is fully fluid/liquid, and when you pour all the fish oil onto a plate, and there are NO other solids or waste material in the fluid, then you have high quality very pure fish oil. The more solid mass the frozen fish might have, the less pure the fish oil is.I tried the test with the ResQ I have.
AND, WOW, the RESQ was fully fluid after 2 days in the freezer. My brother uses “Nature’s *****” fish oil. I placed one of the Nature *****’s fish oil capsules into the freezer over night and half of the fish oil in the capsule the next morning was not fluid, but had “stuff” mixed in with the fluid. About half was fluid, and the other half was milky solid forms.
I mentioned the results to my doc, and he mentioned that meant the “other” fish oil capsule had “fish by products,” included in the fish oil. You may want to try this test out with other fish oils to prove it yourself…..You may want to include it in your advertisements after you see the results of the tests yourself….

One of your customers
Comment from Garey: Roger thanks for the great tip! The reason Res-Q 1250 will win over others every time is that it is molecularly distilled so that the capsules contain two and a half times more Omega-3s than any other regular fish oil capsules. All impurities are removed. This is also the reason most people find there is little or no “repeating” and rarely a stomach upset which claim cannot be made by others. You will also notice the Res-Q 1250 is very light in color whereas other versions are rather “dark”. I really am grateful for this “easy to perform at home” experiment to see that we mean what we say when we say Res-Q 1250 is the best. Thanks again for sharing! .
My Doctor was surprised when I refused the medication, but was pleased when my triglycerides fell by 300 points in only 2 months! High-potency Omega-3s can change your life! Here’s how I did it:
“Omega-3s saved my life! Now my friends call me the Omega-3 Man!”
In June 2005, I received bad news from my doctor. My triglycerides were in the RED ZONE - “High Risk” for stroke. Ambulance sirens went off in my head! “508″ was the count to be exact. “508″ became my magic number. In life, sometimes there are little keys given to you that unlock big doors. “508″ was a little key for me that opened a big door exposing a problem that I had neglected for 15 years.
Once a person hits “500″, then you might as well take a red marker and write “HIGH RISK” (for heart disease) across your forehead! My LDLs were high and the HDLs were low. Ratios were terrible. The doctor prescribed some pharmaceuticals but I wasn’t buying. When you read about all the dangerous, Nasty side effects of statin drugs, you will understand why. I hadn’t taken an antibiotic in 30 years. This was not the time to start going pharmaceutical.
I was about 15 lbs overweight, had that spare tire growing around the mid-section. My liver was not in good shape from a bout of hepatitis I contracted while on a mission in India in 1976. An ultrasound was ordered. Results show I have a “fatty” liver! Enough was enough. The time for change had come!
What is your magic number? What is your little key that is going to unlock your big door? This was my motivation to make significant changes in my life and in my health regimen!
Wake Up Call and Commitment
This time became a “wake up call” knowing that I had to make some drastic changes in my life if I was ever going to get back in shape and take charge of my life, instead of letting Health challenges ruin me. I joined a gym and found out they offered classes for free and I made some commitments.
Think about this: A personal trainer can run you $50 - $75 an hour, maybe you can afford that, maybe not. If you join a Gym, and take advantage of the free classes such as Yoga, Body Flow, Body Pump, RPM (cycling), etc., then you can get “personal” instruction included in the price of the membership. Most of the classes I take have 3 to 8 people in attendance. Not only do I get “personal” instruction, I have the added benefit of the support and chemistry involved in a group activity.
Let’s do the math: I take on average 3-4 free classes a week (there are literally 40 hours of group classes scheduled) and my membership costs $40 a month. That works out to about $2.87 per class hour. This of course doesn’t take into account the many of hours that the gym is open with over one million dollars in various workout equipment if I choose to use it. If I do a measley two hours a week in the gym using all this great equipment then my fee per hour reduces to under $1.80. There is some unique value there. But you say, “what if I don’t go?” Well, that’s where you gotta have some committment.
Conquering Oneself!
I decided I was willing to do what’s hard. I decided to act in spite of my fears. I committed that I was bigger than any obstacle and that I would never give up. These were powerful commitments. No one said it’s easy but complicated it is not.
The philosophy of the “Enlightened Warrior” became my creed. A warrior by definition is one who goes about “to conquer.” An Enlightened Warrior is one who seeks to “conquer oneself.” How tough is that?
Here’s a challenge: Try Yoga! You will learn a lot about conquering yourself! Of all exercise routines, yoga is my favorite. I have a great teacher and I come away from a one hour yoga class, exercised to be sure, but feeling refreshed and centered. There are many men taking yoga today and it’s a great place to meet women, so there is not enough good to be said about signing up for a yoga class!
Omega-3s to the Rescue! Will the first sign of heart disease be sudden death?
I heard about Omega-3s on the radio and figured this was the time to put up or shut up. I called in and ordered a 3 month supply. Was it hard to shell out the money? Was my “penny-wise mental blueprint” going to allow me to risk a debilitating stroke? How much did I want to pay the doctors and hospitals? Thousands? That would be the ultimate in being penny-wise pound foolish! For a lot of people, the first symptom of heart disease is a heart attack! A full 50% of those end in a medical condition known as “sudden death”. Did I really want to suffer a heart attack or was I going to stop being chintzy and playing around with my health and my heart?
After 3 months of taking Omega-3s, I went for a retest. My triglycerides were down to 200! -A drop of 308 points. I lost 15 lbs. Healthy “good oils” and going to the gym can help you lose weight! I lost 3 inches off my waist and pant size. I became a believer. I am honestly telling you my story of what I did to improve my health which included not being a slouch, getting my body moving, and eating sensibly.
I recently read a Harvard Medical Journal on the centurion studies going on around the world. The common key ingredient for those who are living to 100 is that they move their bodies, and keep their minds active. So think about it. Here’s a formula: 1. Eat sensibly 2. Move your body 3.take plenty of Omega-3s.
Do something good for yourself!
I can tell you from firsthand experience that Omega-3s do a lot more than help keep your heart health in check. Dr Ray Crayhon says, “Omega-3s are not in your brain, they are your brain!” It’s not conclusive but he and many, many other researchers now believe that sufficient dosing of Omega-3s daily may prevent Alzheimer’s Disease. “It is your brain!” Dosing with Omega-3s helps me to think better, and feel better. No matter if you eat fish or not, this is a sure way of getting a quality source of Omega-3s daily. No worries about toxicity associated with statin drugs OR worrying about the mercury content of the fish you may purchase from the market.
The best thing one can do with one’s life is be involved with something you are passionate about. Maybe I will be on TV one day telling my story! It’s a simple story, it’s true and I hope you can take advantage of my lesson and improve your health.
Now at age 54, I am now a fully committed heart healthy person! Will you make the same commitment? Remember, happiness is a mode of travel, not the destination! Being joyful, healthful and inspired is your Ultimate Calling!
In my opinion and that of millions of others is that there is a huge gaping hole in the nutrition consumed in the United States. It begins with deficiencies in Omega-3s. Omega-3s are called Essential Fatty Acids. No, these do not make you fat. You actually lose weight by reducing Omega-6s (regular vegetable based cooking oil) with Omega-3s. Understand Omega-3s are basic cellular building blocks. Taking one or two capsules a day is good but not enough. We don’t take one or two bites of food a day and say, “We’re done!”
We eat for sufficiency and then we eat for pleasure! So with Omega-3s, eat for sufficiency to cure the deficiency. Omega-3s are a natural anti-inflammatory and also act to thin the blood and keep the arteries clear. By doing so, you are be part of what a Harvard trained cardiologist called “the startling effect of Omega-3s” - it’s ability to prevent “sudden death” heart attacks and stroke.
Last point: Not all “Omega-3s” are created equal. Omega-3s is a premium, high potency, high quality product that is produced under strict GMP guidelines. It’s the real deal. This is not a capsule of “fish parts.” The same cannot be said for run of the mill oils purchased off the store shelves. One must know and trust the source. With Omega-3s you can be sure you are taking the best! Very cheap Omega-3s will have about 300mgs of Omega-3s in a 1000mg capsule. You are get “fish parts” along with “repeating” and sometimes an upset stomach. Here is another place to avoid chintziness. Buy high quality, pure Omega-3s.
